6.On the 15th of each month,a classroom at Pointers Run Elementary School in Maryland,is packed with volunteers.Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that _________ by students,parents and teachers from each classroom.Then,the children check to make sure the food isn't too old.After that,they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community.
"I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy (慈善),"says Julie Rosenthal,who started the non-profit program six years ago."And I wanted to teach other kids in the community,too."
Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month,when money from monthly Social Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made.
"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably,"says Linda Testerman,a food receiver."
"It was really fun,it was great to make the senior citizens happy,"says Campbell."It was really cool."
Sofia Merkowitz,another Food on the 15th volunteer,agrees."I really liked it because it made me feel really good that people were so happy that they got food."
Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food.
"We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody's life,a positive difference."
The program started with one school delivering 30bags of groceries. It has grown each year,and now involves 10 schools and several churches.Food on the 15th has delivered more than 12,000bags so far.Rosenthal's goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world.

76.List the four things that the students do with the food in the program''Food on the 15th''.(no  more than 30words)①collect the food ②check to make sure the food is good ③sort the food and put it into bags ④deliver the food to people in need
77.Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence in the first paragraph.(no more than 5words)has been donated/has been given
78.On what purpose did Julie Rosenthal start the non-profit program?(no more than 15words)She wanted to teach herdaughter and other kids about philanthropy.
79.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.该活动的规模逐年扩大,现在已有十所学校及好几个教堂加入进来.
80.Would you like to become a volunteer of this program?Why?(no more than 20words)Yes.Because I can learn about philanthropy such kind of programme..

分析 为了让学生自己的孩子以及社区的其他的孩子学习慈善,Julie Rosenthal6年前发起、组织了一个非盈利的慈善活动,为食不果腹者捐助食物,让孩子们学会关爱他人,培养他们的社会责任感.

解答 76.①collect the food  ②check to make sure the food is good  ③sort the food and put it into bags  ④deliver the food to people in need
77.has been donated/has been given
78.She wanted to teach her daughter and other kids about philanthropy.
79.该活动的规模逐年扩大,现在已有十所学校及好几个教堂加入进来.
80.Yes.Because I can learn about philanthropy such kind of programme.
76 封闭型问题.文章在第一段提到了在这一慈善活动中学生对于食物要做的事情:collect food,check to make sure the food isn't too old.…sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community.由于字数限制,在填写答案时要注意提炼、改写,尤其是第③④两个要点.
77  信息补全题.这里指的是被志愿者捐赠的食物,that指代的是先行词food,所以用被动语态,强调的是结果,所以用完成时.
78  封闭型问题.由第二段Julie Rosenthal所说的话可以看出,她发起这一活动的目的就是想让自己的孩子还有社区里其他的孩子学习一些关于慈善.如果上不留意,答案中就会遗漏"other kids".
79  句子翻译题. 在翻译时要注意,主语it指代的是上文所说的"The program",同时还要注意多义词"involve"在句中的具体意思:牵涉,涉及,然后根据具体语境灵活翻译.
80  开放型问题.   答案不唯一.  根据文意合理作答,回答形式和内容要与问题一致.

点评 做阅读表达题时,理清文章的脉络、掌握文章的主旨大意,并能运用简洁的语言表达.回答要有针对性观点要明确.不要摘抄文章原句.

16.
Homonym:a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world,but a different meaning
Same spelling,different meaning
Imagine,then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way,but have completely different meanings.Welcome to the world of homonyms.Take,for example,the word‘fail'---it can be a kind of festival,and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game.
Don't take it literally
So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to?---You don't,except by the context.Obviously,if someone asks you to‘give them a hand',they don't want you to remove what is at the end of your arm.
What's in a name?
Sometimes even the context doesn't help much---the result can be amusing.These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:
I used to be a banker,but I lost interest.
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.
More ambiguity
And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.
Double trouble
And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb,but have different meanings.Can you work this one out?
Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana.
If you like these homonyms,you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!
Explanations of jokes in the text
I used to be banker,but I lost interest.(I became bored with the job/I lost money)
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?(students/parts of his eyes)
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.(no difference in the situation/no money)
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.(the ball hit me/I suddenly realized)
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.(became known/fell out)
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.(can't be better/difficult to mix with a fork)
Time flies like an arrow.(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana.(insects enjoy eating fuit.)
56.Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?D
A.They share the same spellings regardless of meanings.
B.We can't know their meanings without context.
C.We may still feel confused even with context.
D.Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life.
57.The"beat"in the sentence"A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat,making for a satisfying breakfast."has a similar meaning toB.
A.The rain was beating down on the tin roof.
B.Taking the bus sure beats walking.
C.The doctor could feel no pulse beating.
D.You've been working too hard,you look dead beat.

13.The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area.We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for   your family,the community and the environment.The concept of buying locally is simple:buy food produced,grown,or raised as close to  your home as possible.Not only will your food be fresher and tastier,but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.
Better for the environment
Sustainabilityand global warming are such hot topics at the moment,and  many                 people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment.Small action carried  out by many people can make a big difference.Most materials in an average North      American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate.To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and       refrigeration but also customers'expenses as well.
Taste and nutritional content
Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested.Because they are picked at the height of ripeness(成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market,their freshness,nutrition,and flavor are kept.Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home values
When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods,you are engaged in a    time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater.You also help keep dollars within your community.
21.It can be inferred from the third paragraph thatC.
A.global warming is the most serious problem now
B.North American food is rich in various kinds of materials
C.the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers
D.most people support buying locally
22.Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly becauseA.
A.they are picked when they are fully grown
B.they are not polluted by chemical fertilizer
C.they can be harvested at any time
D.they are sent to the market at a high speed
23.According to the author,when you buy locally-grown foodsB.
A.you can see how fruits and vegetables grow
B.you will contribute to protecting the environment
C.you will become much healthier and prettier
D.you are making money from your community
24.What does the passage mainly talk about?D
A.The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.
B.The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.
C.The importance of protecting the environment.
D.The benefits of buying locally.

1.When we think of green buildings,we tend to think of new ones----the kind of modern,solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines.But the US has more than 100million existing homes,and it would be incredibly (51)B to tear them all down and (52)C them with greener versions.
An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.And it would take an average of 65years for the (53)A carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) (54)Cenergy-efficient (节能) home to make up for the (55)D lost by destroying an old one.
